In summary

Borrowed from Old French tete (“nipple”), perhaps an expressive formation or from Frankish *titta, from Proto-Germanic *titt- (“teat; nipple; breast”), from Proto-Indo-European *tata- (“father; parent; nipple”). Compare Ancient Greek τίτθη (títthē), Portuguese teta, French tette, Late Latin titta, Italian tetta, etc. Similar words are found in many European languages, and there may not be a deeper connection between them.
